Saber65

Hi Guys,
I just got my new AMYA magazine today, great job on the RG's btw, I was looking forward for the issue because of the spoiler that Bill (Hagerup) was going to talk about his latest design. No disappointment there again!

One problem though, I wanted to just jump the gun set aside the other 25 different boat builds I have going on and start working on a Saber, problem is I don't seem to be able to find the plans on the RG site, lots of info on the dragon force (eye roll) but in the design page (not immediate find either) no sign of the Saber. Info on the DF, link for the Goth and info on the blue splash, but that's it.

Re: Saber65

I got my scanning issues straightened out, and sent the .pdf to Eric the other day. Now it seems he is having some difficulty getting it out on the website. Sigh. It will happen, just a bit longer now. If you must have the plan right now, send me an email at billhagerup@hotmail.com and I'll send it back to you.

Re: Saber65

Hi Bill,
thanx for the offer, and info on the plan, but Eric Rosenbaum send me a copy already couple of days ago (thanx Eric).
I will start the build as soon as I can, hopefully next couple of weeks, will post some pictures.

BTW this would me my 5 (7 if you count the round ranger and footy) build from your plans ......

Re: Saber65

Sailed this boat today in 18-25 mph winds with a C(60% of A) rig. It sailed very well, tracked upwind and downwind without rounding up, tacked without stalling and the spray rails worked to keep it from diving in the downwind gusts.

Compared it to Bill's Cobra 5 in the same conditions and noticed that there is a big difference between the boats in high winds, The Cobra is more difficult to control upwind and dives and rounds up down wind.
